>> I’M HAVING SO MUCH FUN AREA,
LOOK I GOT A WRENCH INTO THE
TOOL BOX AND WE’VE GOT A
GENERATOR TO WORK ON NOW THIS
ONE HAS NOT HAD GAS IN IT BUT
THEY’VE BEEN I’VE BEEN TALKING
HERE IN IF YOU COME TO THE ELISTWAY ACE HARDWARE IN YOU EVER
NEED YOUR. OR EQUIPMENT, YOUR
LAWN EQUIPMENT WORKED ON THE
DAVID’S AGAINST DOING IT SO
HE’S GOING TO HELP US OUT AND
GIVE US THE STEP BY STEP HERE
FIRST IF THE
FOLKS TOOK THE ADVICE AND THE
BEGINNING OF THE SEASON
WATCHING ALL OF THESE VISIT
HERE DAYS AND THEY GOT THEIR
GENERATOR READY. THEY GOT GAS
AND MAY GOD WILL END IT.
WE’VE HAD A QUIET SEASON.
THANK GOODNESS NOW WE NEED TO
PUT IT TO BED FOR THE SEASON.
DAVID WHAT’S THE FIRST THING
THAT WE SHOULD DO OR YOU WANT
TO GET THE GASOLINE OUT OF THE
GENERATOR BECAUSE WITH A METAL
TANKS LIKE THIS THE ROAD INSIDE
BECAUSE ALCOHOL IS IN
THE FUEL WILL SUCK MOISTURE
RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR IN BECAUSE
CREO IS CREOLE. CROW ROSEN
CORROSION THERE WE GO
CORROSION INSIDE THE TANK, YOU
KNOW WHAT IF I KNOW THAT SOME
OF THESE HAVE THE PLASTIC TANKS
TO WHAT ABOUT PLASTIC AND HARD
TO PLACE THE TANKS ARE NOT
AFFECTED BY, BUT YOU STILL WANT
TO GET THE BECAUSE IF YOU GET
SIT TOO LONG IT GOES BAD AND IT
TURNS COLDER LIKE THAT
AND SOME PEOPLE WOULD LOOK AT
THAT SAYING THAT DOESN’T LOOK
TOO FAR DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
COMES OUT WANT TO FILLING UP MY
CAR WHY IS THIS BAD GASOLINE IS
USUALLY CLEAR WHEN IT’S FOR IT
WHEN IT’S FRESH BUT AS IT
INTERIOR IS IT WILL START TURN
AMBER COLOR LIKE THAT OTHER
VOLATILE AGENTS WILL GO OUT AND
IT LOOKED LIKE GAS AND THE
SMELL OF GAS BUT IT WILL RUN
AND WHAT ABOUT YOUR OTHER 2
JOKES THERE. I DON’T THINK
THOSE ARE DRINKABLE KNOW THESE
AND REGULAR THIS IS WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET WATER IN
YOUR CAN THE GASOLINE FLOATS ON
THE TOP AWARD GOES TO THE
BOTTOM SO WHEN YOU TURN A GAS
CAN UP TO FILL UP THE
GENERATOR, THE FIRST THING IS
IN IS THE WATER. THAT’S NOT
GOOD. SO NOW YOU’RE JUST ADDING
MORE CONTAMINANTS TO
AND WHAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE
LAST ONE THIS IS TO CYCLE GAS
WITH THE WATER ON THE BOTTOM
GASOLINE WATER WILL NOT SON
WILL NOT MIX ALCOHOL MIXED WITH
EITHER ONE OF THEM, BUT THEY
THESE 2 WILL NOT
IT’S THE SAME PROBLEM THE 2
STRIKES AND THAT IS TRULY OIL
AND WATER AS IT IS IN ALL RIGHT
SO WE TO GET THE GAS SO YOU’VE
GOT ONE OF THE HAND PUMPS HERE
THIS THING WILL GIVE YOUR
FOREARM OR WORK OUT, BUT IT
COULD EFFECTIVELY GET THE GAS
OUT NOW SOMEBODY WAS AGAINST
FLOWING BEAUTIFUL MIND SO IF
YOU DON’T SO IT’LL CREATE ITS
OWN SIPHONED AWAY SO THAT WILL
TAKE SOME OF THE STRESS OUT OF
IT. NOW IF WE WANT TO LET
GRAVITY DO THE WORK HOW WOULD
WE DO THAT.
YOU HAD TO PULL THE FUEL ON OFF
OF THE OFF OF THE VALVES ON THE
OTHER SIDE HERE AND HERE OVER
HERE. YEAH, OKAY, HARD TO SEE.
THE FIRST THING YOU WANT TO DO
IS OPEN UP THE VALVE ON THE
BOTTOM OF THE CARBURETOR.
LET THE GASOLINE DRAIN OUT OF
THE CAR, BUT YOU CAN DRAIN
EVERYTHING THIS WILL EVENTUALLY
BRING THE WHOLE TECH LIKE THIS
SHE NEEDS OF
THE KITCHEN. BUT IF YOU SAY
FROM THE TANK ADVANTAGE MUCH
YOU CAN FIRST AND JUST PUT
SOMETHING HERE TO CATCH THE GAS
AS LONG AS E U GAS IS COMING
OUT IT WILL HAVE LIVE INTIALLY
GET ALL
WAY THROUGH AND IT WAS GREAT
EVERYTHING DRY YOU WANT TO
LEAVE IT DRY. YOU DON’T WANT TO
LEAVE ANY GAS IN IT JUST TO
TAKE IT RIGHT OUT THERE LET LET
EVERYTHING DRAIN. LISA FOR A
COUPLE HOURS, WE’LL DRY OUT.
AND THEN YOU PUT YOUR OLD BACK
IN. AND
YOU’RE DONE. NOW THERE MIGHT BE
SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING ALL
RIGHT WELL, I’M GOING TO USE MY
GENERATOR A COUPLE OF TIMES
OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR
AND I DON’T WANT TO DRAIN IT
COMPLETELY IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT THEY COULD PUT IN IT THAT
WILL HELP TO KEEP THE FUEL AT
LEAST FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IF
YOU’RE USING AN ETHANOL GAS IS
IT’S A LOT BETTER, BUT STILL
USE STABLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
THE SEARCH AROUND OR YOU SEE
FROM ANYTHING LIKE THIS WILL
HELP TO STABILIZE THE FUEL SO
WON’T GO BAD.
GASOLINE IS REFORMULATING EVERY
60 TO 90 DAYS FOR THE AFIS OR
CONDITIONS AND IT CAN GO
BASSINET GO BAD IN AS LITTLE AS
60 DAYS AND WILL BE FORMULATING
AGAIN NOW SINCE WE’RE GOING TO
BE SEEING A BIG TEMPERATURE
CHANGE HERE ACROSS THE NATION
IN THE FINAL THOUGHT IS OIL
WE’VE GOT OIL AND IS THERE
ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE TO DO
WITH THE THE OIL IF ITS CLAIM
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BOTHER WITH
IT LEAVE IT IN THERE OR WILL
NOT GO BAD IF IT’S DIRTY IT HAS
BEEN RUN FOR A WHILE COULDN’T
CHANGE IT AND GET READY FOR
NEXT YEAR AND HOPEFULLY NEXT
YEAR IS LIKE THIS YEAR IF YOU
MISSED ANY OF THE INFORMATION
HERE WE’RE GOING TO BE PUTTING
TOGETHER SOMETHING FOR THE WEB
IN. WE’LL HAVE ALL OF THIS SET
UP HERE IN A STORY, SO YOU CAN
FOLLOW ALONG BUT TO THE BEST
ADVICE IS TO COME HERE
AND GET IT FROM ELISTWAY ACE
HARDWARE ASK FOR DAVID AND
DAVID CAN GIVE YOU THE TIPS TO
SO THAT YOUR GENERATORS READY
